Duck Race: Westfield Scout Group’s ever-popular Duck Race last Sunday raised an excellent £217. The weather could have been a little warmer, but racing conditions were good, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you to everyone who supported this. The next event put on by the Group is the Family Barn Dance in the Church (Parish) Hall from 7-10pm on Saturday 28 April, with fabulous music from ‘Swallowtail’. Tickets (£8 adult, £4 child), including ploughman’s supper, will be on sale after the Easter week-end.

Westfield Horticultural Society Spring Show: This year’s Spring Show is on Saturday 14 April, and entries are now being accepted.
